The plaintiff, fepresented b Gordon McCalla, was attempting to collect five thousand dollar from the defendant whose attorne was Perry Nichols, for a violatio of a restricted covenant What apparently seemed a sur victory for the plaintiff was turne into a heated court battle and end ed in the jury becoming deadlock ed on its verdict. Nichols cleverly arranged his defense and presented pictures of the property in a run-down condition which added much weight to his argument. While the case was thrown out, it served, as a degree of victory for the defendent in that the plaintiff was not allowed any damages. Those who attend Moot Court are anxiously awaiting a murder trial that is scheduled for the first week in April, when Anthony Pizzo is to be tried for the "brutal slaying" of "Chisel" Wright. This mock killing was enacted to give grounds for a murder trial.
